Welcome to the Zhukov Academy, comrade. Here we post material of all kinds related to military theory of any kind. If your soviet ever starts a revolution, or if you declare a protracted people's war, then this is a place you'll want in your arsenal -- preferably before the revolution starts.

All sorts of works are allowed as long as they come from a reputable source, meaning people who have a career in the military or have led a revolution. Otherwise you are free to also ask questions about military theory freely.

When submitting a work, please link to a freely-accessible copy -- so either a pdf or html pages, so that everyone can read it. Although not required, please also include a text post explaining why you recommend this book or why it's important. It will encourage people to read it and help them know what to expect.

We also allow works from the enemy (imperialists), as it is important to understand how their military works today. For example, an article about how the USA gets its ass kicked in simulations is absolutely welcome here. Just as long as it has to do with military theory.

H. Von Dach was a Swiss major who wrote his book on guerilla resistance after WW2, expecting a soviet invasion that never came. The idea was to distribute this book to pockets of resistance fighting guerilla warfare against an occupying force.

Despite the reactionary origins, and despite the fact that Switzerland did not participate in WW2 in a military capacity, his book remains full of good information and is perfectly illustrated with diagrams and drawings.

While many of the tactics will not work today (for example, he explains how to derail a train by hitting the fishplates, but modern train lines are one continuous rail now), some of it is still applicable. Moreover we should point out the absolute no-nonsense mentality presented in this book. This manual will teach you how to kill a man silently. It will teach you how to store ammunition for your guerilla cell. It will tell you how to conduct an ambush. And as I mentioned above, it will explain to you and your cell how to derail a train effectively, from start to finish.
